Chapter 54

Qingli’s birthday party was planned by Kanojin and the rest of the secretary’s office, and he was energized by the thought of giving Qingli a good birthday.

“Sister, you really look good in this dress.” Kanojin said to Qingli.

He also have special take dress atlas to give Qing Li choose, but Qing Li just light look, said anything can, let him decide on it, so he just based on feeling to Qing Li choose this body dark green bust dress, slightly lah style, more simple than the fishtail tail cut, very suitable for Qing Li cool with some heroic looks.

“Uh-huh.” Qing Li patted his head, “recently have not studied well?” Kanojin started his undergraduate studies at the National University of Singapore in August this year, and only went to Yue’s part-time job when he didn’t have classes and had free time.

“Of course.” Ganojin said, with a slightly smug expression, “I’ve also been doing my job well, and Mr. Yue even complimented me on how well I planned this banquet.”

“Really, that’s good.” Qing Li was very pleased.

“Well, Mr. Yue also said to let me graduate after the formal employment of Yue’s it, then he is my brother-in-law, I can not rely on their own brother-in-law’s identity is not learning, I have to give the face of the A sister-in-law to fight for glory, naturally want to study well.” Gano really said.

Qing Li slightly stunned, “you have already thought about it, in the future to go to Yue’s work?”

“Well, before I was a little hesitant, and then think about it, but also quite good, in the future a sister married, we are a family, Yue’s development is good, a sister’s life can also be better ah.” Gano really close to Qing Li, lowered his voice, “I can also help you look at Mr. Yue there is no fooling around.”

Qing Li looked at him and touched his head, “Thank you, but you’re still young, don’t decide such important things so early, I don’t need you to do this for me, I don’t want any better life either, it’s already very good right now, I hope that in the future, you can go and do what you like.”

Kanojin looked at her for a moment in silence, “It always feels as if something is different about A-chan coming back this time.”

“Is that so?”

“Well, always feel as if it is very tired, A-sister used to be always cold, but in fact it is very energetic, but now it seems like how can’t raise energy.” Kanojin was a little worried, “In the past you even said that you wanted me to work well at Yue’s so that I could repay Mr. Yue, but this time you said something like this, it’s really a little strange, are you sick.”

Qing Li curved the corners of her mouth, smiled and diverted the topic, “Didn’t you say that you want to go to another country to work and also buy a house, if you work at Yue’s, wouldn’t that mean you can’t leave Singapore?”

“Didn’t you say you didn’t want to leave here before? I won’t leave if you don’t, but I’m going to be with Sis forever.” Kanojin wondered.

Aonashi sighed, “You can’t tell what’s going to happen in the future, I just don’t want you to limit your future to one possibility right now, maybe in the future I’ll want to go and live in China, after all, there might still be my grandparents there, and if I can find them, it seems like I’ve found my roots as well.”

“That’s easy too, just have Mr. Yue accompany you, he has a lot of properties over there.” Kanojin said.

Qing Li didn’t say anything else and touched his head, “Study hard.”

She looked at Yue Zhi not far away, just as the other party was also looking at her, still the gentle smile that she was familiar with and for which her heart raced, but she suddenly did not have the courage to walk to his side in spite of everything like before.

Looking at this luxurious and mesmerizing scene, she couldn’t even recall the feeling of joy and happiness that Yue Zhi felt when he announced his engagement to her two months ago.

Surely this was the PTSD that Singhota had said, was it something that would slowly get better and would return to normal sooner or later?

When exactly will it return, Qing Li can’t wait, she really hates this feeling, she hugs and kisses Yue Zhi as sweetly and without any inhibitions as she did before.

As with the news of Yue Zhi’s engagement, the news of his low-profile and luxurious invitation to all the bigwigs and celebrities to come and celebrate his fiancée’s birthday was also carefully screened by Liang Jin, and only after his consent was it published in the media, there was no front view photo, only the back view photo of him hugging Qing Li.

They hadn’t even returned to the manor yet, the news had already gone online, the media also linked this news with Yue Qi’s participation in the auction and the sky-high price of an antique diamond necklace, guessing that Yue Qi had given his fiancée that diamond necklace worth nearly ten million dollars as a birthday gift.

This matter was not wrong.

Qing Li looked at the thick ink and deep green mountains outside the window, unconsciously reached out to touch the necklace in front of her chest, suddenly thought that this brooch was an antique of hundreds of years, she didn’t know about jewelry, but she had heard that human sweat could cause damage to jewelry, her hand braked again.

“Do you like it?” Yue Zhi asked her.

“Well, but it’s just too expensive.” Even though Qing Li knew that it was nothing for Yue Zhi’s wealth, she still wasn’t used to accepting something so expensive.

“This main diamond was removed from one of the Queen’s crowns and then combined with another diamond necklace, and it’s because of this background that it’s worthy of my Ao Ni.” Yue Zhi took her shoulders, “You wear it for fun, consider it a name asset, and if you don’t like it later, reselling it can also be worth a few dollars.”

“As long as Ah Li is happy.” Yue Zhi looked at her, his eyes were deep, “It’s too late today, there’s a surprise for you tomorrow.”

“Uh-huh.” Qing Li leaned on his shoulder, closing her eyes somewhat tiredly.

“Ah Li, do you still love me?” Yue Zhi asked as he stroked Qingli’s hair.

“Of course, my feelings for Mister have never changed.” This was the only question to which Qing Li could immediately give the only answer without thinking.

“That’s good, that’s good.” Yue Zhi rubbed the corners of her eyes, rubbing a bit of charmed color out of that area, “I always feel that Ah Li and I seem to be different from before, I’m very uneasy, and a bit anxious.”

Qing Li heard this, but she was inexplicably relieved, it turned out that she wasn’t the only one who felt this way, she wasn’t the only one who was uneasy, it turned out that they were all the same, because they all valued each other too much.

She hugged Yue Zhi tightly, “It’ll be fine, we’ll all be fine slowly.”

Their lives were still very long, this was just one of those small incidents that could not be fought or changed, it would always fade away slowly.

Right at this moment, Qing Li seemed to see her fluttering heart finally slowly falling back into place, landing in the familiar palm of someone’s hand and being held up.

They returned to the manor, Yue Zhi pulled Qing Li into the elevator, reaching out to help her to press the button for the second floor, but the outstretched hand was grabbed by Qing Li.

“Ah Li?” He looked at her in confusion.

Qing Li, however, lowered her eyes and pressed the third floor.

There were some words that didn’t need to be said, they both knew it in their hearts, Yue Zhi took a sharp breath, pulled Qingli heavily into his arms and kissed her fiercely.

Qing Li was constantly slapped and ravaged in the clouds and rain. Ravaged, like a tender pear flower wrapped in a violent storm, trembling and swaying in the branches, struggling hard, rubbing out the blood-colored juices, and finally being gently but domineeringly and unresistingly pressed by the solid mountain, no longer having the power to resist.

Yue Zhi leaned against the bed, one hand playing with a cigar that had not yet been cut, one hand gently caressing Qingli’s shoulder beside him, his thumb rubbing on the snow-white gelatinous skin.

Qingli was sleeping, his face was tired and flushed, and the corners of his eyes still had some traces of moistening.

He was pretty sure that the Aonashi he’d just seen was the most vulnerable she’d been in three years, except for the first time they’d met, when she’d despaired because she’d thought he wouldn’t take her out of Indonesia, when she’d been unable to do anything but climb on top of him.

He liked that.

Eventually he let go of the cigar in his hand and got naked . Naked, he got up, wrapped casually in his bathrobe, and went to the table, picking up what he’d casually tossed on the table when they’d first begun to tangle, Green Pear’s birthday present, the diamond necklace the queen had worn.

The pendant was a 63-carat flawless diamond in the shape of a teardrop, and the necklace was double-layered, made of a dozen one-carat diamonds and natural pearls in a ho-hum setting, looking extremely luxurious and sparkling.

He unscrewed the table lamp, by the light from the back of the collar pendant chain gap clamped a small, rice-sized silver wiretap, the color and texture and the chain perfectly blended into one, because it is too small so there is no transmission function, but it can be all of Qing Li’s tonight’s conversation recorded on the inside of the tiny chip.

Having someone send the item to Singota at the base, ten minutes later he received an audio on his cell phone, putting on his headphones he listened to it quietly, even though Aonashi didn’t talk much and most of it was other people’s voices, he listened to it all without missing a beat.

Including the conversation between Aonashi and Lance.

Lance: I have inquired about a little something about what you asked me to look into for you last time.

Aonashi: What is it?

Lance: Yeager family nowadays the head of the family ranked third oh, and it is not the son of the previous head of the family, originally the inheritance could not fall on his head, but the previous head of the family’s two sons before and after the accident, he was passed over, and then inherited the Yeager family.

Qing Li: Accident, what is it?

Lance: I haven’t found out yet, but I heard that the second son of the family used to be very powerful and famous, doing good business in Southeast Asia, and was highly regarded, but then he disappeared.

After a long silence, Qing Li finally spoke out: thank you, Lance, please continue to help me check again.

Yue Zhi continued to listen, and the headset soon resounded with Gano Zhen’s voice again, and this time, Qing Li did speak quite a bit.

Until finally his own voice rang out from inside, followed by a blur of intertwined limbs and ambiguous sounds of lips and tongues meeting, Yue Zhi took off the headphones.

He sat quietly for a while, and took out the information in the drawer, on which was the recent situation of a Chinese couple, as well as their continuous traveling back and forth to Southeast Asia in search of their daughter over the years.

He looked at it for a moment and shoved the information into a nearby shredder.

After deleting the audio on his cell phone, it was like deleting some dark cloud that was looming over him, Yue Zhi lazily stretched his body and returned to the bed, completely building Qingli into his arms.

The warmth of flesh against flesh felt surprisingly good, he even indulged in it a little, looking at Qingli who was still sleeping in his arms, he held her lips and plundered them some more, until Qingli couldn’t stand it and let out a pouty gasp, he only let go of her.

“It’s so cute, Ah Li, this is good.”

That’s good.
